TO THE THIRD EDITION, 



The sale of two large editions of the New Latin* 
Reader, in the short space of time which has elapsed 
since its first appearance, has afforded the author a 
pleasing proof of the high degree of approbation with 
which the interlinear system of instruction has been 
received by the public. 

The rapid sale of Mr. Johnson's Greek, and Mr. Bol- 
mar's French, elementary books, constructed on the same 
plan ; and of the Latin, Greek, French, Italian, and 
German books, prepared for the use of the London Uni- 
versity, on a plan essentially the same, gives still further 
assurance of its success. The system of instruction by 
means of literal interlinear translations, supported as it 
is by the recommendation of Locke, Ascham, and Milton, 
and sanctioned by the usage of all the English public 
schools, in an age fertile in profound classical learning, 
is fast recovering its place in public estimation. 

These circumstances, and the solicitation of many 
respectable teachers, for whose judgment he entertains 
a profound deference, have induced the author to pre- 
pare an additional volume, or second part, of the 
" Reader," which will speedily be published. This

volume will comprise nearly the whole interlinear Latin 
course which has been prepared for the students of the 
London University ; viz. Ccesar's Invasion of Britain ; 
Phcedrus's Fables of JEsop; Ovid's Metamorphoses, Book I. 
and VirgiVs JEneid, Book I. 

These have been carefully revised, and brought into 
conformity with the general plan of the New Latin 
Reader. 

The interlinear course thus presented, will furnish a key 
to some of the purest and most popular classical works. A 
careful and thorough study of them will enable the pupil 
to proceed; without further aid from translations of any 
kind, and to address himself to the study of the Latin 
authors, with a feeling of confidence which arises from 
the possession of an abundant stock of words and phrases, 
and from that general knowledge of the language, ac- 
quired by careful attention to its idiomatic features. 

Philadelphia, March 20th, 1832. 



PREFACE. 



The number jof branches esteemed necessary for a polite educa- 
tion has, of late years, greatly increased. Subjects connected- with 
the more abstruse sciences have been classified and simplified, so as 
to be brought within the compass of a common intellect, and of the 
youthful period of life. The modern languages of Europe are daily 
claiming more and more of our attention. 

These changes, though they have by no means diminished the 
usefulness of the ancient languages, have taken from youth a great 
portion of that time, which formerly was so liberally allotted to the 
study of them. A shorter method of learning the Latin language is 
needed to meet this new emergency. It is the object of this work 
to furnish a method by which the Latin may be learned at an early 
age, and the riper years of the pupil be reserved for the studies that 
belong to them. The difference between the Latin and the English 
idioms— the difficulty of remembering all the inflections of the nouns ? 
adjectives, and verbs — and the inverted order of words peculiar to 
the Romans — are obstacles too great to be encountered all at once. 
They should be encountered singly. 

One of the most successful in obviating these difficulties was Du 
Marsais, Professor of Languages at the University of Marseilles. 
He published, in 1731, his lecture on Interlined Translations. His 
system has been confirmed by experience, and is now used in some 
of the first universities in Europe. An improvement upon the system 
of Du Marsais has been lately made by Mr. A. Bolmar of Philadel- 
phia, and it is on his improved system that the following work has 
been prepared. The merits which it Claims are these : — 

1. It gives the pupil an exact knowledge of the literal meanings 
of each root in the original. 

2. By means of the prepositions and auxiliaries, it gives the mean- 
ing of each root as modified by inflexion. 

3. It gives a translation of phrases or idioms, by which the true 
import of the original, and the difference of the idioms are learned 
with precision. 

4. The Latin words are arranged after the English order in the 
Key. 

5. The pupil is required to recite from the pure Lectin text, and 
is therefore obliged to prepare his lessons with care and diligence, 
and to compare the Latin with the English arrangement of words. 

It is almost needless to mention, that the system of Hamilton 
furnishes only the first three of these advantages, and that the want 
of the other two renders his method completely inefficient, and 
prevents the attainment of the object he had proposed to himself.

Vi PREFACE. 

The following method is usually pursued in teaching from inter- 
lined translations. 

The pupil begins to translate, and to study Latin Grammar at the 
same time. He is directed to study for each recitation, a short les- 
son in grammar, and, by the aid of the Key, to prepare for transla- 
tion a suitable portion of the Latin text. To assist him in learning 
to spell the Latin words, and to remember their meaning, he is 
required to transcribe into a small copy book as much of the lesson 
as possible, writing first a Latin word, then its meaning in English, 
and so on. The instructer examines the copy book, from time to 
time, to see that it is faithfully executed. 

At recitation, the pupil is examined in the Latin Grammar — then 
he reads the pure Latin text with attention to pronunciation — then 
gives a literal translation of each word of the original in the order 
of the Key — then gives a translation of the phrases and idioms, also 
prepared from the Key ; and finally, having closed the book, he gives 
the exact equivalent in English, of every Latin word or phrase in 
the lesson which the teacher may propose to him, or the exact Latin 
equivalent of an English word or phrase which may be selected 
from the interlinear translation of the lesson. This last exercise is 
very useful for enlarging the pupil's vocabulary, and preparing him 
for reading Latin authors, when he has finished his interlinear 
course, without a too frequent and toilsome recourse to the dic- 
tionary. 

It should be observed that the pupil always recites from the pure 
Latin text, and uses the Key only in preparing his lessons. 

After the pupil has in this manner gone through the Grammar, 
and perhaps half way through the Latin Reader, he should have 
frequent exercises in the inflections of nouns, adjectives, and verbs, 
to be prepared from the Grammar by the aid of a Dictionary or 
Vocabulary. Before he has finished the Latin Reader, he will be 
prepared for exercises in the application of the rules of Syntax. 



Directions for the Use of the Key. 

The figures 1, 2, 3, &c, placed before the English words, show 
in what order they are to be recited. 

The Asterisks* placed before an English word, show that it must 
be omitted in the recitation. 

Words or phrases enclosed in Parentheses ( ), are to be repeated 
in the literal translation ; but in the free translation they are to be 
omitted, and their place supplied by the word or phrase coming after 
and placed between two dashes — — .

Deinde immisit soporem in Adamum, et detraxit unam 
e costis ejus dormientis. 

Ex ea formavit mulierem quam dedit <sociam Adamo, 
sicque instituit matrimonium. 

Nomen primae mulieris fuit Eva. 



Deus posuit Adamum et Evam in horto amoenissimo, 
qui s(3let appellari Paradisus terrestris. 

Ingens fluvius irrigabat hortum : erant ibi ornnes arbo- 
res jucundae aspectu, et fructus gustu suaves. Inter eas 
arbor scientiae boni et mali. 

Deus dixit homini : utere fructibus omnium arborum 
paradisi, praeter fructum arboris scientiae boni et mali ; 
nam si comedas ilium fructum, morieris.

S-srpens, qui erat callidissimum omnium animantium, 
dixit mulieri: cur non comedis fructum istius arboris ? 

Mulier respondit : Deus id prohibuit. Si tetigerimus 
ilium, moriemur. 

Minime^ inquit serpens : non moriemini ; sed eritis 
similes Deo, scientes bonum et malum. 

Mulier, decepta his verbis, decerpsit fructum et come- 
dit: deinde obtulit viro, qui pariter comedit. 

5. 

Adarmis, fugiens cWnspectum Dei, se abscondit. Deus 
vocavit ilium : Adame, Adame. 

Qui respondit : timui conspectum tuum, et abscondi 
me* 

Cur times, inquit Deus, nisi quia comedisti fructum 
vetitum ? 

Adamus respondit: mulier, quam dedisti mihi sociam, 
porrexit mibi fructum istum ut ederem. 

Dominus dixit mulieri: cur fecisti hoc? Qua? respon- 
dit : serpens me decepit. 

6. 

Dominus dixit serpenti : quia decepisti mulierem, eris 
odiosus et execratus inter omnia animantia; reptabis su- 
per pectus, et comedes terram. 

Inimicitiae erunt inter te et mulierem ; ipsa olim con- 
teret caput tuum. 

Dixit etiam mulieri : afficiam te multis malis ; paries 
liberos in dolore, et eris in potestate viri. 



Deinde Deus dixit Adamo : quia gessisti morem uxori 
tuae, habebis terram infestam ; ea fundet tibi spinas et car- 
duos. 

Quae res ex ea victum cum multo labore, donee abeas 
in terram e qua ortus es. 

Turn ejecit Adamum et Evam ex horto ut ille coleret 
terram, et collocavit angelum, qui praeferebat manu gladi- 
um igneum, ut custodiret aditum Paradisi.

Adamus habuit multos liberos, inter quos Cainus et 
Abel numerantur : hie fuit pastor ; ille agricola. 

Uterque obtulit dona Domino : Cainus quidem fructus 
terrce ; Abel autem oves egregias. 

Dona Abelis placuerunt Deo, non autem dona Caini ; 
quod Cainus aegre tulit. 

Dominus dixit Caino : cur invides fratri ? si recte facies, 
reeipies mercedem ; sin autem male, lues poenam peccati. 

9. 

Cainus non paruit Deo monenti : dissimulans iram, 
dixit fratri suo : age, eamus deambulatum. 

Itaque una ambo abierunt foras, et quum essent in 
agro Cainus irruit in Abelem, et interfecit ilium. 

Deus dixit Caino : ubi est tuus frater ? Cainus respondit : 
nescio : num ego sum custos fratris mei ? 

10. 

Deus dixit Caino : Caine, quid fecisti ? Sanguis fratris 
tui, quern ipse fudisti manu tua, clamat ad me. 

Infesta tibi erit terra, quae bibit sanguinem Abelis : 
quum colueris earn longo et duro labore, nullos feret 
fructus : eris vagus in orbe terrarum. 

Cainus, desperans veniam, fugit.

Postquam numerus hominum crevit, omnia vitia in- 
valuere. Quare ofFensus Deus statuit perdere hominum 
genus diluvio. 

Attamen pepercit Noemo et liberis ejus, quia colebant 
virtutem. 

Noemus admonitus a Deo exstruxit ingentem arcam in 
modum navis ; linivit earn bitumine, et in earn induxit par 
unum omnium avium et animantium. 

12. 

Postquam Noemus ipse ingressus est arcam cum con- 
juge, tribus filiis et totidem nuribus. aquae maris et om- 
nium fontium eruperunt. 

Simul pluvia ingens cecidit per quadraginta dies et to- 
tidem noctes. 

Aqua operuit universam terram, ita ut superaret quin- 
decim cubitis altissimos montes.

Omnia absumpta sunt diluvio : area autem sublevata 
aquis fluitabat in alto. 

13. 

Deus immisit ventum vehementem, et sensim aquae 
imminutae sunt. 

Tandem mense undecimo postquam diluvium coeperat, 
Noemus aperuit fenestram .arcae, et emisit corvum, qui 
non est reversus. 

Deinde emisit columbam : quum ea non invenisset 
locum ubi poneret pedem, reversa est ad Noemum, qui 
extendit manum, et intulit earn in arcam. 

Columba rursum emissa attulit in ore suo ramum oli- 
vae virentis, quo finis diluvii significabatur. 

14. 

Noemus egressus est ex area, postquam ibi inclusus 
fuerat per annum totum ipse et familia ejus : eduxit se- 
cum aves caeteraque animantia. 

Turn erexit altare, et obtulit sacrificium Domino. De- 
us dixit illi : non delebo deinceps genus hominum ; po- 
nam areum meum in nubibus et erit signum foederis quod 
facio vobiscum. 

Quum obduxero nubes ccelo, arcus meus apparebit, 
et recordabor foederis mei, nee unquam diluvium erit ad 
perdendam orbem terrarum. 

15. 

Omnes gentes propagatas sunt a filiis Noemi. Seimis 
incoluit Asiam, Chamus Africam, Japhetus Europam. 

Poena diluvii non deterruit homines a vitiis, sed brevi 
facti sunt pejores quam prius. 

Obliti sunt Dei creatoris : adorabant solem et lunam ; 
non verebantur parentes ; dicebant mendacium ; faciebant 
fraudem, furtum, homicidium : uno verbo se contamina- 
bant omnibus flagitiis. 

16. 

Quidam tamen sancti viri coluerunt veram religionem 
et virtutem, inter quos fuit Abrahamus e genere Semi. 

Deus fecit foedus cum illo his verbis : exi e domo pa- 
terna, desere patriam, et pete regionem quam daturus 
sum posteris tuis.

um, ac per te omnes orbis nationes erunt bonis cumulat®.

17. 

Abrahamus jam senuerat, et Sara ejus uxorerat sterilis. 

Quibus.tamen Deus promisit, filium ex eis nasciturum. 

Habehis, inquit, filium ex Sara conjuge tua. 

Quod audiens Sara risit, nee statim adhibuit fidem pro- 
missis Dei, et idcirco reprehensa est a Deo. 

Abrahamus autem credidit Deo pollicenti. 

Et vero uno post anno filius natus est Abrahamo, qui 
eum vocavit Isaacum, 

18. 

Postquam Isaacus adolevit, Deus, tentans fidem Abraha- 
mi, dixit ill! ; Abrahame, tolle filium tuum unicum quern 
amas, et immola eum mihi in monte quern ostendam tibi. 

Abrahamus non dubitavit parere Deo jubenti ; impo- 
suit ligna Isaaco, ipse verb portabat ignem et gladium. 

Quum iter facerent simul, Isaacus dixit patri ; mi pater, 
ecce ligna et ignis : sed ubinam est hostia immolanda ? Cui 
Abrahamus : Deus. inquit, sibi providebit hostiam, fili mi. 

19. 

Ubi pervenerunt ambo in locum aesignatum, Abrahamus 
exstruxit aram, disposuit ligna, alligavit Isaacum super 
struem lignorum, deinde arripuit gladium. 

Turn Angelus clamavit de ccelo : Abrahame, contine 
manum tuam : ne noceas puero : jam fides tua mihi per- 
specta est, quum non peperceris filio tuo unico : et ego 
favebo tibi ; remunerabo splendide fidem tuam. 

Abrahamus respexit, et vidit arietern haerentem cornibus 
inter vepres, quern immolavit loco filii, 

20. 

Postea Abrahamus misit servum suum Eliezerem ad 
cognatos suos qui erant in Mesopotamia, ut inde adduceret 
uxorem filio suo Isaaco. 

Eliezer sumpsit decern camelos domini sui, et profectus 
est, portans secum munera magnifica, quibus donaret puel- 
lam destinatam Isaaco et ejus parentes.

Ubi pervenit in Mesopotamiam, constitit cum camelis 
prope puteum aquas ad vesperam, quo tempore mulieres 
solebant convenire ad hauriendam aquam. 

21. 

Eliezer oravit Deum his verbis : Domine, Deus Abra- 
hami, fac ut puella, quae dabit potum mihi petenti, ea sit 
quam Isaaco destinas. 

Ecce statim Rebecca virgo eximia pulchritudine prodiit, 
gerans urnam humeris, quae descendit ad puteum, et im- 
plevit urnam. : . 

Tunc Eliezer progressus obviam puellae : da, inquit, 
potum mihi : cui Rebecca : bibe, ait, domine mi ; et simul 
demisit urnam. 

Quum ille bibisset, Rebecca obtulit etiam aquam came- 
lis. Hoc indicio cognovit Eliezer quod scire cupiebat. 

22. 

Eliezer protulit inaures aureas et armillas, quas dedit 
Rebeccae : turn interrogavit illam cujus esset'filia, num 
in domo patris esset locus ad commorandum. 

Cui Rebecca respondit : ego sum filia Bathuelis ; avus 
meus est frater Abrahami ; est domi locus ad commoran- 
dum amplissimus ; est etiam plurimum fceni et palearum 
ad usum camelorum. 

Quod audiens Eliezer egit gratias Deo, qui tribuisset 
iter prosperum sibi. 

23. 

Rebecca properavit domum et narravit matri suae ea 
quae sibi contigerant. 

Labanus frater Rebeccae, quum audivisset sororem nar- 
rantem, adivit hominem, qui stabat ad fontem cum camelis, 
et compellans eum : ingredere, inquit, domine mi : cur 
stas foris ? Paravi hospitium tibi et locum camelis. 

Dein deduxit eum domum, eique cibum apposuit 

24. 

Continuo Eliezer exposuit parentibus Rebeccae causam 
itineris suscepti, rogavitque ut annuerent postulationi suae. 

Qui responderunt : ita voluntas Dei fert ; nee possumus 
Deo obsistere. En Rebecca ; proficiscatur tecum, nup-

Turn Eliezer deprompsit vasa aurea et argentea, vestes- 
que pretiosas, quas dedit Rebeccae ; obtulit etiam munera 
matri ejus et fratri, et inierunt convivium. 

25. 

Postridie Eliezer surgens mane dixit parentibus Re- 
beccas : herus meus me expectat ; dimittite me, ut redeam 
ad ilium. 

Qui responderunt : vocemus puellam, et percontemur 
ejus sententiam. 

Quum Rebecca venisset, sciscitati sunt, an vellet disce- 
dere cum homine ? Volo, inquit ilia. 

Dimiserunt ergo Rebeccam et nutricem illius, precantes 
ei omnia prospera. 

26. 

Isaacus forte tunc deambulabat rure ; vidit camelos ve- 
nientes. Simul Rebecca conspecta virum deambulantem, 
desiluit e camelo, et interrogavit Eliezerem, quis est ille vir? 

Eliezer respondit : ipse est herus meus. Ilia statim 
operuit se pallio. 

Eliezer narravit Isaaco omnia quas fecerat. 

Isaacus introduxit Rebeccam in tabernaculum matris 
suae, et lenitus est dolor, quern capiebat ex morte matris. 

27. 

Rebecca edidit uno partu duos filios, Esaum et Jaco- 
bum. Qui prior editus est, pilosus erat ; alter vero, lenis : 
ille fuit venator strenuus, hie autem placidus et simplex 
moribus. 

Quadam die, quum Jacobus sibi paravisset pulmentum 
ex lentibus, venit Esaus fessus de via, et dixit fratri : da 
mihi hoc pulmentum ; nam redeo rure exanimatus lassi- 
tudine. 

Cui Jacobus : dabo, si concedas mihi jus primogeniti. 

Faciam libenter, inquit Esaus. Jura ergo, ait Jacobus. 

Esaus juravit et vendidit jus suum. 

28. 
Isaacus, qui delectabatur venatione, amabat Esaum, 
Jacobus vero erat carior Rebeccae. 

Quum Isaacus jam senuisset, et factus esset caecus, vo- 
cavit Esaum : sumito, inquit, pharetram, arcum et sagit- 
tas ; affer mihi et para de venatione pulmentum, ut com- 
edam et apprecer tibi fausta omnia antequam moriar. 
Esaus itaque profectus est venatum.

bum, et afferto, inquit, rnihi duos haedos opimos : confi- 
ciam pulmentum, quo pater tuus valde delectatur ; appo- 
nes ei cibum, et bene precabitur tibi. 

Jacobus respondit : ego noa ausim id facere, mater : 
Esaiis est pilosus ; ego sum lenis ; si pater me attrectave- 
rit, succensebit mihi ; ita indignatio patris et damnum 
mihi evenient pro ejus benevolentia. 

30. 

Rebecca institit : ne timeas, inquit, ffli mi. Si quid 
adversi iude sequatur, id totum sumo mihi : tu vero ne 
dubites facere quod jussus es. 

Itaque Jacobus abiit et attulit matri duos haedos ; ilia 
paravit seni cibum quern noverat suavem esse palato ejus. 

Deinde induit Jacobum vestibus fratris : aptavit pellem 
haedi manibus ejus et collo. 

Turn, adi, inquit, patrem tuum, et offer illi escam quam 
appetit.

Jacobus attulit patri suo escam paratam a matre. 

Cui Isaacus dixit: quisnam es tu? Jacobus respon- 
dit: ego sum Esaiis primogenitus tuus; feci quod jussisti, 
pater ; surge et comede de venatione mea. 

Quomodo, ait Isaacus, potuisti invenire tarn cito ? In- 
veni, pater : Deus ita voluit. 

Isaacus rursum : tu-ne Esaiis promogenitus meus? ac- 
cede propiiis ut attrectem te. 

Ille accessit ad patrem, qui dixit : vox quidem est 
Jacobi, sedmanus sunt Esai. 

32. 

Isaacus amplexatus Jacobum anteposuit eum fratri, et 
tribuit illi omnia bona primogeniti. 

Non multo post Esaiis rediit a venatione, et ipse obtu- 
lit patri pulmentum quod paraverat.

Mesopotamiam. 

Iter faciens pervenit ad quendam locum, ubi fessus de 
via. pernoctavit : supposuit lapidem capiti suo et obdor- 
mivit. , 

34. 

Jacobus vidit in somnis scalam, quae innixa terrae perti- 
nebat ad ccelum, atque angelos Dei ascendentes et descen- 
dentes: audivit Dominum dicentem sibi: ego sum Deus 
patris tui, dabo tibi et posteris tuis terram cui incubas. 

Noli timere ; ego favebo tibi ; ero custos tuus, quocum- 
que perrexeris, et reducam te in patriam, ac per te omnes

Jacobus expergefactus adoravit Dominum. 

35. 

Jacobus iter persecutus pervenit in Mesopotamiam: 
vidit tres pecorum greges propter puteum cubantes. 

Nam ex eo puteo greges solebant adaquari. Os piitei 
claudebatur ingenti lapide. 

Jacobus accessit illuc, et dixit pastoribus : fratres, unde 
estis ? qui responderunt : ex urbe Haran. 

Quos interrogavit iterum, n6stis-ne Labanum ? Dixe- 
runt, novimus. Valet-ne ? valet, inquiunt ; ecce Rachel 
filia ejus venit cum grege suo. 

36. 

Dum Jacobus loqueretur cum pastoribus,Rachel, filia La- 
bani, venit cum pecore paterno : nam ipsa pascebat gregem. 

Confestim Jacobus, videns cognatam suam, amovit la- 
pidem ab ore putei. Ego sum, inquit, films Rebecca, 
et osculatus est earn. 

Rachel festinans nunciavit patri suo, qui agnovit filium

Jacobus habuit duodecim filios, nter quos erat Jose- 
phus ; hunc pater amabat prae caeteris, quia senex genuerat

Haec porro erant Josephi somnia. Ligabamus, inquit, 
simul manipulos in agro : ecce manipulus meus surgebat et 
stabat rectus ; vestri autem manipuli circumstantes vene- 
rabantur fneum. 

Postea vidi in somnis solem, lunam et undecim Stellas 
adorantes me. 

Cui fratres responderunt, quorsum spectant ista somnia ? 
Num tu eris rex noster ? Num subjiciemur ditioni tuae ? 

Fratres igitur in vide bant ei; at pater rem tacitus con- 
siderabat.

Quadam die quum fratres Josephi pascerent greges pro-

ut sciret quomodo se haberent. 

Qui, videntes Josephum venientem, consilium ceperunt 
illius occidendi. 

Ecce, inquiebant, somniator venit ; occidamus ilium et 
projiciamus in puteum : dicemus patri : fera devoravit

Reipsa his verbis deducti sunt ad mitius consilium.

Ubi Josephus pervenit ad fratres suos, detraxerunt ei 
togam, qua indutus erat, et detruserunt eum in foveam 

Deinde quum consedissent ad sumendum cibum, con- 
spexerunt mercatores qui petebant Mgyptum cum came- 
lis portantibus varia aromata. 

Venit illis in mentem Josephum vendere illis merca- 
toribus.

his verbis : invenimus hanc togam ; vide an toga nlii tui sit. 

Quam quum agnovisset, pater exclamavit : toga filii mei

vestem, et induit cilicium. 

Omnes liberi ejus convenerunt ut lenirent dolorem pa-

que : ego descendam moerens cum filio meo in sepulchrum.

alter praeerat pincernis, alter pistoribus. 

Utrique obvenit divinitus somnium eadem nocte. 

Ad quos quum venisset Josephus mane, et animadver- 
tisset eos tristiores solito, interrogavit quaenam esset 
moestitiae causa? 

Qui responderunt : obvenit nobis somnium, nee quis- 
quam est qui illud nobis interpretetur. 

Nonne, inquit Josephus, Dei solius est praenoscere res 
futuras ? Narrate mini somnia vestra.

Turn prior sic exposuit Josepho somnium suum. 

Vidi in quiete vitem in qua erant tres palmites ; ea 
paulatim protulit gemmas ; deinde flores eruperunt, ac 
denique uvae maturescebant. 

Ego exprimebam uvas in scyphum Pharaonis, eique 
porrigebam. 

Esto bono animo, inquit Josephus, post tres dies Pha- 
rao te restituet in gradum pristinum : te rogo ut memin- 
eris mei. 

48. 

Alter quoque narravit somnium suum Josepho : gesta- 
bam in capite tria canistra in quibus erant cibi quos pis- 
tores solent conficere. 

Ecce autem aves circumvolitabant, et cibos illos com- 
edebant. Cui Josephus: haec est interpretatio istius somnii. 

Tria canistra sunt tres dies, quibus elapsis, Pharao te 
feriet securi, et affigit ad palum, ubi aves pascentur 
carne tua.

Die tertio, qui dies natalis Pharaonis erat, splendidum 
convivium parandum fuit. 

Tunc rex meminit ministrorum suorum, qui erant in

Post biennium rex ipse habuit somnium. 

Videbatur sibi adstare Nilo numini: et ecce emergebant 
de flumine septem vaccae pingues, quae pascebantur in 
palude. 

Deinde septem aliae vaccae macilentae exierunt ex eodem 
flumine, quae devorarunt priores. 

Pharao experrectus rursum dormivit, et alterum habuit 
somnium. 

Septem spicae plenae enascebantur in uno culmo, aliaeque 
totidem exiles succrescebant, et spicas plenas consumebant 

51. 

Ubi illuxit, Pharao perturbatus convocavit omnes con- 
jectores iEgypti, et narravit illis somnium; at nemo po- 
terat illud interpretari. 

Tunc praefectus pincernarum dixit regi : confiteor pecca- 
tum meum : quum ego et praefectus pistorum essemus in 
carcere, uterque somniavimus eadem nocte. 

Erat ibi puer Hebraeus, qui nobis sapienter interpreta- 
tus est somnia; res enim interpretationem comprobavit*

Rex arcessivit Josephum, eique narravit utrumque som- 
nium. Turn Josephus Pharaoni : duplex, inquit, sonv 
nium imam atque eandem rem significat. 

Septem vaccae pingues et septem spicae plenae sunt sep- 
tem anni ubertatis mox venturae. 

Septem vero vaccae macilentse et septem spicae exiles 
sunt totidem anni famis, quae ubertatem secutura est. 

Itaque, rex, praefice toti iEgypto virum sapientem et in- 
dustrium, qui partem frugum recondat in horreis publicis, 
servctque diligenter in subsidium famis secuturae. 

53. 

Regi placuit consilium; quare dixit Josepho: num 
quisquam est in iEgypto te sapientior? Nemo certe 
fungetur melius illo munere. 

En tibi trado curam regni mei.

Qui responderunt : profecti sumus e regione Chanaan ut 
emamus frumentum, 

Non est ita, inquit Josephus; sed venistis hue animo 
hostili : vultis explorare nostras urbes et loca ^Egypti pa- 
rum munita. 

At illi : minime, inquiunt : nihil mali meditamur ; duo- 
decim fratres sumus ; minimus retentus est domi a patre : 
alius vero non superest.

Illud Josephurn angebat quod Benjaminus cum caeteris 
non aderat. 

Quare dixit eis : experiar an verum dixeritis : maneat 
unus ex vobis obses apud me, dum adducatur hue frater 
vester minimus ; caeteri abite cum frumento.

Tunc coeperunt inter se dicere : meritd haec patimur : 
crudeles fuimus in fratrem nostrum ; nunc pcenam hujus 
sceleris luimus. 

Putabant haec verba non intelligi a Josepho, quia per in- 
terpretem cum eis loquebatur. 

Ipse autem avertit se parumper et flevit. 

58. 

Josephus jussit fratrum saccos impleri tritico, et pecu- 
niary quam attulerant, reponi in ore saccorum ; addidit 
insuper cibaria in viam. 

Deinde dimisit eos, praeter Simeonem, quern retinuit 
obsidem. 

Itaque profecti sunt fratres Josephi, et, quum venissent 
ad patrem, narraverunt ei omnia quae sibi acciderant. 

Quum aperuissent saccos, ut effunderent frumenta, 
mirantes repererunt pecuniam. 

59. 

Jacobus, ut audivit Benjaminum arcessi a praefecto 
uEgypti, cum gemitu questus est. . 

Orbum me liberis fecistis : Josephus mortuus est ; 
Simeon retentus est in JEgypto ; Benjaminum rultis ab- 
ducere. 

Haec omnia mala in me residunt ; non dimittam Benja- 
minum ; nam si quid ei adversi acciderit in via, non potero 
ei superstes vivere, sed dolore oppressus moriar. 

60. 

Postquam consumpti sunt cibi quos attulerant, Jacobus 
dixit filiis suis : proficiscimini iterum in jEgyptum, ut 
ematis cibos. 

Qui responderunt : non possumus adire praefectum 
iEgypti sine Benj amino ; ipse enim jussit ilium ad se 
adduci. 

Cur, inquit pater, mentionem fecistis de fratre vestro 
minimo ? 

Ipse, inquiunt, nos *interrogavit an pater viveret, an 
alium fratrem haberemus. 

Respondimus ad ea quae sciscitabatur : non potuimus 
praescire eum dicturum esse : adducite hue fratrem ves- 
trum. 

61. 

Tunc Judas, unus e filiis Jacobi, dixit patri : commit- 
te mihi puerum : ego ilium recipio in fidem meam : ego 
servabo, ego reducam ad te ; nisi fecero, hujus rei cul-

secundo hue rediissemus. 

Tandem victus pater annuit : quoniam necesse est, 
inquit, proiiciscatur Benjaminus vobiscum, deferte viro 
munera et duplum pretium, ne forte errore factum sit lit 
vobis redderetur prior pecunia. 

62. 

Nunciatum est Josepho eosdem viros advenisse, et eum 
eis parvulum fratrem. 

Jussit Josephus eos introduci domum, et lautum parari 
convivium. 

Illi porro metuebant ne arguerentur de pecunia, quam 
in saccis repererant : quare purgaverunt se apud dispen- 
satorem Josephi. 

Jam semel, inquiunt, hue venimus : reversi domum 
invenimus pretium frumenti in saccis : nescimus quo- 
nam casu id factum fuerit : sed eandem pecuniam repor- 
tavimus. 

Quibus dispensator ait : bono animo estote. Deinde 
adduxit ad illos Simeonem, qui retentus fuerat. 

63. 

Deinde Josephus ingressus est in conclave, ubi sui eum 
fratres expectabant, qui eum venerati sunt offerentes mu- 
nera. 

Josephus eos clementer salutavit, interrogavitque : 
salvusne est senex ille quern vos patrem habetis? Vivit- 
ne adhuc ? 

Qui responderunt : salvus est pater noster, adhuc vivit. 

josephus autem, conjectis in Benjaminum oculis, dixit : 
iste est frater vester minimus, qui domi remanserat apud 
patrem ? 

Et rursus : Deus sit tibi propitius, fili mi ; et abiit fes- 
tinans, quia commotus erat animo, et lachrymae erumpe- 
bant. 

64. 

Josephus lota facie regressus . continuit se, et jussit 
apponi cibos. 

Turn distribuit escam unicuique fratrum suorum : sed 
pars Benjamini erat quintuplo major quam caeterorum. 

Peracto convivio, Josephus dat uegotium dispensatori, 
ut saccos eorum impleat frumento, pecuniam simul repo- 
nat, et insuper scyphum suum argenteum in sacco Ben- 
jamini recondat. 

Ille fecit cliligenter quod jussus fuerat.

Fratres Josephi sese in viam dederant, necdum procul 
ab urbe aberant. 

Tunc Josephus vocavit dispensatorem domus sues, 
eique dixit : persequere viros, et quum eos assecutus fu- 
eris, illis dicito : quare injuriam pro beneficio rependis- 
tis? 

Subripuistis scyphum argenteum, quo dominus mens 
utitur : improbe fecistis. 

Dispensator mandata Josephi perfecit ; ad eos confes- 
tim advolavit ; furtum exprobravit ; rei indignitatem ex- 
posuit. 

66. 

Fratres Josephi responderunt dispensatori : istud scel- 
eris longe a nobis alienum est ; nos, ut tute scis, retuli- 
mus bona fide pecuniam repertam in saccis : 

Tantum abest ut furati simus scyphum domini tui : apud 
quern furtum deprehensum fuerit, is morte mulctetur. 

Continuo deponunt saccos et aperiunt, quos ille scru- 
tatus invenit scyphum in sacco Benjamini. 

67. 

Tunc fratres Josephi moerore oppress! revertuntur in 
urbem. 

Adducti ad Josephum, sese adjecerunt ad pedes illius. 
Quibus ille : quomodp, inquit, potuistis hoc scelus admit- 
tere ? 

Judas respondit : fateor : res est manifesta ; nullam 
possumus excusationem afTerre, nee audemus petere ve- 
niam aut sperare : nos omnes erimus servi tui. 

Nequaquam, ait Josephus : sed ille, apud quern inven- 
tus est scyphus, erit mini servus : vos autem abite liberi 
ad patrem vestrum. 

68. 

Tunc Judas accedens propius ad Josephum : te oro, 
inquit, Domine mi, ut bona cum venia me audias. 

Pater unice diligit puerum ; nolebat primo eum dimit- 
tere ; non potui id ab eo impetrare, nisi postquam spo- 
pondi eum tutum ab omni periculo fore. 

Si redierimus ad patrem sine puero, ille moerore con-

Interea Josephus continere se vix poterat : quare jus- 
sit iEgyptios abstantes recedere. 

Turn flens dixit magna voce : ego sum Josephus ; vi- 
vitne adhuc pater meus ? 

Non poterant respondere fratres ejus nimio timore per- 
turbati. 

Quibus ille amice : accedite, inquit, ad me : ego sum 
Josephus frater vester, quern vendidistis mercatoribus 
euntibus in JEgyptum : noliet timere. 

Dei providentia id factum est, ut ego saluti vestrae con- 
sulerem.

Josephus haec locutus fratrem suum Benjaminum com- 
plexus est, eumque lacrymis conspersit. 

Deinde caeteros quoque fratres collacrymans osculatus 
est. Turn demum illi cum eo fidenter locuti sunt. 

Quibus Josephus : ite, inquit, properate ad patrem me- 
um, eique nunciate nlium suum vivere, et apud Pharao- 
nem plurimiim posse ; persuadete illi ut in -5£gyptum cum

Fama de adventu fratrum Josephi ad aures regis per- 
venit, qui dedit eis munera perferenda ad patrem cum his

Jacobus, profectus cum filiis et nepotibus, pervenit in 
^Egyptum, et prsemisit Judam ad Josephum, ut eum fa- 
ceret certiorem de adventu suo. 

Confestim Josephus processit obviam patri, quern ut vi- 
dit, in collum ejus insiliit, et flens flentem complexus est. 

Turn Jacobus : satis diu vixi, inquit, nunc aequo animo 
moriar, quoniam conspectu tuo frui mihi licuit, et te mihi

Josephus adiit Pharaonem, eique nunciavit patrem suum 
advenisse : constituit etiam quinque e fratribus suis coram 
rege. 

Qui eos interrogavit, quidnam operis haberent : illi re- 
spondernnt se esse pastores. 

Turn rex dixit Josepho : iEgyptus in potestate tuaest; 
cura ut pater et fratres tui in optimo loco habitent ; et si qui 
sint inter eos navi et industrii, trade eis curam pecorum 
iTieorum.

Josephus adduxit quoque patrem suiim ad Pharaonem, 
qui, saiutatus a Jacobo, percontatus est ab eo qua esset

Jacobus respondit regi : vixi centum et triginta annos, 
nee adeptus sum senectutem beatam avorum meorum :

suppeditavit.

Jacobus vixit septem et decern annos postquam commi- 
grasset in iEgyptum. 

Ubi sensit mortem sibi imminere, arcessito Josepho, 
dixit : 

Si me amas, jura te id facturum esse quod a te petam, 
scilicet ut ne me sepelias in iEgypto, sed corpus meum 
transferas ex hac regione, et condas in sepulchro majorum

Jura ergo mihi, ait Jacobus, te certo id facturum esse.

Josephus adduxit ad patrem duos filios suos, Manassem 
et Ephraimiim : posuit Manassem, qui natu major erat, ad 
dextram senis, Ephraimum verb minoremad sinistram ejus. 

At Jacobus, decussans manus, dextram imposuit Ephra- 
imo, sinistram autem Manassi, et utrique simul bene pre- 
catus est. 

Quod Josephus animadvertens scgre tulit", et conatus es 
manus patris commuiare. 

At pater restitit, dixitque Josepho : scio, fiii mi, scio hunc 
esse majorem natu, et ilium minorem : id prudens feci. 

Ita Jacobus Ephraimum Manassi anteposuit. 

78. 

Ut vidit Josephus extinctum patrem, rait super eum

Deinde prsecepit -medicis ut condirent corpus, et ipse cum

Josephus vixit annos centum et decern, quumque esset 
morti proximus, convocavit fratres suos, et illos admonuit 
se brevi moriturum esse. 

Ego, inqnit, jam morior : Deus vos non deseret, sed erit 
vobis prassidio, ei deducet vos aliquando ex ^gypto in re- 
gionem quam patribus nostris pron.isit : oro vos atque ob-

Mulier Hebraea peperit filium, quern, quum videret ele- 
gantem, voluit servare. 

Quare abscondit eum tribus mensibus, sed quum non 
posset eum diutius occultare, sumpsit fiscellam scirpeam, 
quam linivit bitumine ac pice. 

Deinde posuit intus infantulurn,* et exposuit eum inter 
arundines ripae fluminis. 

Habebat secum unam comitem sororem pueri, quam 
jussit stare procul, ut eventum rei exploraret. 

82. 

Mox filia Pharaonis venit ad flumen, ut abluerel cor- 
pus. Prospexit fiscellam in arundinibus haerentem, mi- 
sitque illuc unam e famulis suis. 

Aperta fiscella, cernens parvulum vagientem, miserta 
est illius : iste est, inquit, unus ex infantibus Hebraeo- 
rum. 

Tunc soror pueri accedens : vis-ne, ait, ut arcessam 
mulierem Hebraeam, quae nutriat parvulum? et vocavit 
matrem ; cui filia Pharaonis puerum alendum dedit, pro- 
missa mercede. 

Itaque mater nutrivit puerum, et adultum reddidit filise 
Pharaonis, quae ilium adoptavit, et nominavit Mosem, id 
est, servatum ab aquis.

Moses jam senex, jubente Deo, adiit Pharaonem, et-

Moses, ut Pharaonis pertinaciam vinceret, multa et stu- 
penda edidit prodigia, quas vocantur plagae ^gypti. 

Quum nihilominus Pharao in sententia perstaret, Deus

Brevi regem poenituit quod tot millia hominum dimis-

Hebraei, quum vidissent ex una parte se mari interclu- 
sos esse, ex altera parte instare Pharaonem cum omnibus 
eopiis, magno timore correpti sunt. 

Tunc Deus Mosi : protende, inquit, dextram tuam in 
mare, et divide aquas, ut illse Hebraeis gradientibus iter 
siccum prasbeant. 

86. 

Fecit Moses quod jusserat Deus : quum teneret manum 
extensam snper mare, aquae divisae sunt, et intumescentes 
hinc et inde pendebant. 

Flavit etiam ventus vehemens, quo exsiccatus est alveus. 

Tunc Hebraei ingressi sunt in mare siccum : erat enim 
aqua tanquam murus a dextra eorum et lseva. 

Rex quoque ^Egyptius, Hebraeos gradientes insecutus, 
non dubitavit, mare, qua patebat, ingredi cum universo 
exercitu.

Quum iEgyptii progrederentur in medio mari, Dominus 
subvertit eorum currus et dejecit equites. 

Metu perculsi iEgyptii cceperunt fugere : at Deus 
dixit Mosi : extende rursus dextram in mare, ut aquae re- 
vertantur in locum suum. 

Paruit Moses, et statim aquae refluentes obruerunt 
iEgyptios, et eorum currus et equites. 

Deletus est universus exercitus Pharaonis in mediis

Puer crevit ; intonsam habuit comam ; nee vinum, nee 
siceram bibit ; incredibili fuit corporis robore ; obvium 
leonem manu interfecit. 



Samson adultus Philista^os multis affecit cladibus : cepit 
trecentas vulpes, quarum caudis accensas lampades alli- 
gavit, et in hostium agros immisit. 

Tunc forte messis matura erat : ita facile incendium

Tandem Philistsei, qui Samsonem comprehendere ne-

Mulier viro persuasit ut sibi indicaret causam tantae

Turn Deus Samueli : ego, ait, afficiam domum Heli iis 
malis, quae nemo audire possit, quin ei ambae aures tin- 
niant, propterea quod in liberos suos plus aequo indulgens 
fuerit, illorumque vitia nimium patienter tulerit.

Arctior deinde somnus Sarnuelem complexus est, qui 
dormivit usque mane. 

Ubi dies illuxit, surgens e lectulo aperuit ostium taber- 
naculi, utr facere consueverat : timebat autem sacerdoti 
indicare sermonem Dei. 

Heli compellans eum : oro te, inquit, et obtestor, in- 
dica mihi ea, quae dixit tibi Deus : cave ne me quid- 
quam celes eorum, quae audivisti* 

Jubenti paruit Samuel, illique enarravit omnia verba 
Domini : cui Heli : Dominus est, ait, faciat quod sibi 
libuerit. 

106. 

Paulo post bellum exortum est inter Philistaeos et He- 
braeos. 

Hebraei arcam foederis in pugnam deferunt, et cum ea 
nlii sacerdotis proeedunt ; sed, quia Deus illis erat of- 
fensus, area detrimento magis quam adjumento fuit. 

Victi sunt Hebraei, occisi nlii sacerdotis, area ipsa 
capta est. 

Heli, audito tantae cladis nuncio, e sella decidit, et 
fracta cervice, mortuus est.

Samuel fuit postremus Hebraeorum judex, eorumque 
res in summa pace et perpetua tranquillitate administravit. 

At quum senuisset, et nlii ejus a moribus paternis de- 
sciscerent, populus, novitatis amans, ab illo regem petiit. 

Samuel primo rem dissuasit, Hebroeosque ab isto con- 
silio dimovere conatus est; sed illi in sententia perstiterunt,

Quare admonitus a Deo Samuel annuit eoruai postula- 
tioni, et Satilem regem consecravit. 

Erat Satilis ingens statura et forma excellens, adeo ut 
dignitas corporis dignitati regiae pulchre conveniret. 

108. 

Philistaei in agrum Hebraeorum lrruptionem fecerunt. 

Quapropter Saul adversus illos processit, et apud Gal- 
gala, urbem insignem istius regionis, castra posuit. 

Forro Samuel edixerat ut se per septem dies expec- 
tarent, neve manum cum hoste prius consererent, quam 
ipse veniens Deo sacrificium faceret. 

Die septimo, quum Samuel moraretur, et populus 
moras pertsesus dilaberetur, Saul ipse sacrificium fecit 
loco sacerdotis. 

Vix peracto sacrincio, venit Samuel, regemque gravi- 
ter reprehendit, quod munus proprium sacerdotum sibi 
temere arrogavisset. 

109. 

Saul postea, jubente Deo, bellum Amalecitis intulit. 

Primo rem bene gessit. Ceesi sunt hostes, et eorum 
rex captus est. 

Sed deinde Saul Deum graviter offendit : vetuerat 
Deus ne quid ex spoliis hostium reservaretur ; Satil 
vero, Amalecitis cassis, partem praedae servavit. 

Quam ob causam rejectus est a Deo, et in ejus locum 
David, adhuc juvenis, e tribu Judae, electys est, et a 
Samuele unctus. 

110. 

Secutum est bellum cum Philistaeis : quum duas acies 
in conspectu essent, Philistaeus quidam, nomine Goliathus, 
vir miras magnitudinis, progressus est ante ordines, et 
unum ex Hebraeis saspe provocabat ad singulare certamen. 

Lorica squamata induebatur : ocreas in cruribus aere- 
as habebat ; cassis aerea caput ejus operiebat, et clypeus 
aereus tegebat humeros. 

Turn Saul magna praemia, imo et filiae nuptias, ei 
promisit, qui provocantis spolia retulisset. 

At nemo contra ilium exire audebat ; et Goliathus su- 
am Hebraeis ignaviam cum irrisu ac ludibrio exprobrabat.

David, commotus ignominia populi sui, se sponte ad 
pugnandum obtulit,

Itaque adductus est ad Saulem, qui, considerate ej*us 
eetate, diffidebat pugna3. 

Non poteris, inquit, adolescentulus, cum viro robustis- 
simo pugnare. 

Respondit David : ne timeas, O rex ; quum pascerem 
oves patris mei, leo invasit gregem, ovemque corripuit; 
ego ilium persecutus occidi, etjovem e faucibus illius eiipui. 

Ursuni pariter interfeci. Deus, qui me defendit a le- 
one et urso, me quoque a Pbilistaeo isto defendet. 

Turn Saul : abi. inquit, curn ista fiducia ; Deus te ad- 
juvet. 

112. 

Saul ipse sua juveni arma voluit accommodare r galeam 
ca'piti ejus imposuit, lorica pectus circumtexit, latus gla- 
dio accinxit. 

David verb ik impeditus armis, quibus non erat assue-

Accedebat ex.adverso Goliathus, qu'», v i S o adolescente, 
mini, inquit, me canem esse putas, qui me cum baculo 
aggrediaris ? 

Cui David respondit; tu venis ad rne cum gladio.et 
hasta et clypeo ; ego autem venio in nomine Domini ex- 
ercituum, quern probris ausus es lacessere. 

Tunc, misso funda lapide, Philistseum in fronte percus- 
sit, et humi prostravit, currensque suum jacenti gladium 
detraxit, quo caput illi prcecidit. 

Ea re perculsi Philistaei in fugam versi sunt, et vie tori- 
am Hebraeis concesserunt.

Redeunti Davidi obviam itum est. Hebraei gratulan- 
tes victorem deducunt ad urbem : ipsse mulieres domibus

Tantus populi favor invidiam Saulis accendit, qui dein- 
ceps malevolo fuit in Davidem animo, nee jam eum be- 
nignis oculis aspiciebat.

Saul victori filiam suam spoponderat uxorem ; at pro- 
missis non stetit, novamque conditionem proposuit, si 
nernpe David centum Philistaeos interfecisset. 

Malo animo id faciebat rex invidus ; sperabat scilicet 
juvenem audacem facile periturum ; at sua eum spes delu- 
sit. 

Nam David, occisis ducentis Philistseis, r.ediit illsesus, 
atque ita regis filiam in matiimonium accepit. 

116. 

David, lit vidit implacabilem esse Saiilis? in se animum, 
excessit aula, et solitudinem petiit. 

Saul ilium persecutus est ; at, Deo favente, David in- 
imici maims effugit, et ipse Saiilis vitam non semel serva- 
vit. 

Erat in deserto spelunca vasto rece~ u patens : ibi Da- 
vid cum suis comitibus in interiore farte latebat. 

Forte Saul solus in illam ^eluncam ingressus est, 
nee latentes vidit, oppressuso* e somno quievit. 

Sui Davidem comites ho- tabantur ut opportunam Saiilis 
interficiendi occasioned arriperet ; sed David noluit, quum 
impune posset, inimfcwn occidere.

Mo turn es^ rursus bellum cum Philistaeis ; adversus 
quos Saul cum exercitu processit. 

Commissa pugnja, Hebraei fusi sunt : tres iilii regis in

Saul ipse ex equo delapsus, ne vivus in potestatem hos- 
tium veniret, uni comitum latus transfodiendum praebuit. 

Regis mortem omnium Hebrseorum fuga consecuta 
est, et eo die victoria insigni potiti sunt Philistaei.

David, audita Saiilis moite, laciymas profudit : montes 
Gelboe, ubi coedes ilia facta fuerat, execratus est. 

Ilium, qui a se Saiilem occisum esse jactitabat et regia 
insignia attulerat, perimi jussit, in pcenam violatse majes-

David, postquam solium conscendit, duplex scelus, et 
quidem gravissimum, commisit. 

Adamavit mulierem, nomine Betsaben, eamque ad fla- 
gitium compulit. 

Mulieris maritus, nomine Urias, vir fortissimus, turn in 
castris erat, et egregiam patriae operam navabat. 

Hunc David iniquo pugnae loco hostibus objici jussit, 
atque ita necandum curavit. 

At Deus ad Davidem misit prophetam, qui ilium ad- 
moneret, eique po3nam sceleris denunciaret subeundam. 

120. 

Sic Davidem allocutus est propheta : erant in eadem 
urbe duo homines : alter dives multos bourn, caprarum, 
atque ovium greges alebat : 

Alter vero nihil habebat praeter ovem unam, quatn 
ipse, emerat, et apud se diligenter nutriebat. 

Venit ad hominem divitem hospes quidam ; quumque ei 
parandum esset convivium, dives ille pepercit suis ovibus, 
et oviculam pauperis vi ereptam hospiti edendam apposuit. 

Tuum est, o rex, de hoc facto judicare. 

121. 

Rex indignans respondit : inique fecit, quisquis ille est ; 
pro ove ahlata, quatuor oves reddet. 

Turn- propheta aperte ; tu, ait, tu es iste vir : te Deus 
bonis omnibus cumulavit, te regem fecit, te ab ira Saiilis 
liberavit, tibi regiam domum, regias opes tradidit. 

Cur ergo uxorem Urise rapuisti ? cur virum innoxium, 
virum tibi militantem, gladio hostium interfecisti ? 

His prohetae verbis motus David culpam agnovit et 
confessus est. 

Cui propheta : tibi, inquit, Deus condonat peccatum 
tuum ; attamen films, qui natus est tibi, morietur. 

122. 

Paulo post infans in gravem morbum incidit ;per septem 
dies David in magno luctu fuit, cibo abstinens et orans. 

Die septimo infans mortuus est, nee ausi sunt famuli id

Quos ut vidit David mussitantes, intellexit, id quod erat, 
mortuum esse infantem.

Tunc, luctu deposito, jussit sibi apponi cibos, miran-

sperans scilicet Deum placari posse; nunc autem, quum 
mortuus sit, cur frustra lugeam ? num potero ilium ad vi- 
tam revocare ? 

123. 

Ad hunc dolorem alius accessit dolor : Absalon, filius 
Davidis, paternum regnurn affectavit, eoncitata multitu- 
dine imperita, adversus patrem rebellavit. 

Id ubi cognovit David, excessit Hierosolyma, veritus 
ne, si ibi remaneret, Absalon cum exercitu veniens ur- 
bem regiam obsideret, eamque ferro et igne vastaret. 

Quare egressus cum suis qui in officio manebant, con- 
scendit montem Olivarum flens, nudis pedibus et operto 
capite. 

124. 

Fugienti occurrit vir quidam e genere Sattlis, nomine 
Semei, qui coepit Davidem ejusque comites maledictis et 
lapidibus appetere. 

Quod illi indigne ferentes volebant ulcisci injuriam, et 
maledici conviciatoris caput amputare. 

At David eos cohibuit : sinite, inquit, istum mihi male- 
dicere ; forsitan Deus, his quss patior malis placatus, mei 
miserebitur, et rem afflictam restituet. 

Incredibilem regis patientiam admirati comites dicto 
aegre paruerunt. 

125. 

Absalon, profecto patre, ingressus est Hierosolymam, 
ibique aliquandiu moratus est, quae res saluti fuit Davidi ; 
nam interim David collegit copias, seque ad bellum com- 
paravit. Jam aderat Absalon cum exercitu, et praslium 
mox erat committendum ; suaserunt regi sui comites ut 
ne interesset certamini. 

Quapropter David Joabum suis copiis praefecit, seque 
in urbem vicinam conlulit. 

Abiens autem prrecepit Joabo caeterisque ducibus ut 
Absaloni parcerent, sibique filium incolumem servarent.

Terga verterunt Absalonis milites, e quibus viginti 
duo millia ceciderunt. 

Absalon fugiens mulo insidebat ; erat autem promisso 
et denso capillo : 

Dum praecipiti cursu fertur subter densam quercum, 
coma ejus implicata est ramis, et ipse suspensus adhaesit, 
mulo interim prsetereunte, et cursum pergente. 

127. 

Yidit quidam pendentem Absalonem, nee ausus est 
illi manus violentas inferre, sed nunciavit Joabo, qui eum 
increpans, debueras, inquit, juvenem impium confodere. 

Atqui, respondit ille, me praesente, rex praecepit tibi ut 
filio suo parceres. 

Ego verb non parcam, ait Joabus, et statim sumpsit 
tres lanceas, quas in pectus Absalonis defixit. 

Quum Absalon adhuc palpitaret haerens in quercu, ar- 
migeri Joabi repetitis ictibus confossum interemerunt. 

128. 

Stabat interea David ad portam urbis, expectans even- 
turn pugnae, et maxime de iilii salute solicitus. 

Quum illi nunciatum esset profligatos hostes et inter- 
fectum esse Absalonem, non modo non laetatus est de 
victoria quam reportaverat, sed maxirnum quoque dolorem 
cepit ex morte iilii. 

Inambulabat in coenaculo moBrens, et in has voces identi-

Postea Salomon voluptati se dedit : nihil porro tarn in-

ulum et imperatorem venisti cum scelesto munere scelestus

NARRATIO UNDECIMA. 
DECIUS. 

Consulibus Decio et Manlio Roma profectis ad bellum 
adversus Latinos gerendum, dicitur visa esse utrique per 
noctem species, humana major augustiorque, viri dicentis : 
Ex una acie imperatorem diis inferis deberi, ex altera ex- 
ercitum: et victormm fore ejus exercitus et populi, cujus 
imperator devovisset legiones hostium, et se super eas. 
Ubi consules contulerunt inter se hos visus nocturnos, 
piacuit primum victimas caBdi, avertendse deorum irae cau- 
sa: deinde statuerunt, ut ille consul se pro populo Romano 
devoveret, ab cujus cornu cedere Romanus exercitus cce- 
pisset. Manlius dextro, Decius laevo, cornu prseerat. 
Primo utrimque aequis viribus, et eodem ardore animorum 
res gerebatur. Deinde ab laevo cornu Romani non ferentes 
impressionem Latinorum, pedem referre co3perunt. In hac 
trepidatione Decius consul solennia devotionis verba pro- 
nun ciavit, praeeunte M. Valerio Pontifice, armatus in 
equum insiluit, ac se in medios hostes immisit, patriae salu- 
tem, sibi verb mortem, petens. Quacumque equo invectus 
est, eo secum pavorem ac terrorem tulit. Postquam verb 
corruit obrutus telis, turn Latini late fugam fecere. Sic ille 
voluntaria. morte magnam Romanis victoriam peperit. 
Manlius lacrymis et laudibus debitis prosecutus est tarn 
memorabilem eollegoe interitum. Decii corpus postero die 
inventum est inter maximam hostium stragem, coopertum 
telis : funusque ei par morti est factum.

NARRATIO DUODECIMA* 

SOLON. 

Cum Solon Miletum venisset ad Thaletem, mirum sibi 
videri dixit, quod nuptiarum et sobolis omnino negligens 
esset. Nihil turn Thales respondit : Sed paulo post pere- 
grinum quendam subornavit, qui se nuper Athenis adve- 
nisse simularet. Quaerente Solone, num quid in ea urbe 
novi ? Homo quae diceret edoctus a Thalete, nihil aliud 
contigisse respondit, nisi quod adolescentem quendam 
efTerri vidisset, cujus funus tota civitas prosequeretur. Erat 
quippe, inquit, ut ferebant, filius viri inter cives virtute 
praecellentis, et jamdudum ab urbe absentis. fc O infortuna- 
turn parentem !' exclamabat Solon. ' Caeterum die,' in- 
quit, 'quodnam ejus nomen ferebant!' ' Audivi equidem,' 
respondit ille, 'sed excidifc mihi. Hoc tantum memini, 
multum habitum esse sermonem de illius viri sapfentia ac 
justitia.' Solon, cujus metus ad singulas peregrini re- 
sponsiones magis ac magis crescebat, turbatus animo atque 
anxius, quaesivit, ' Numquid ille fato functus adolescens, 
Solonis esse filius diceretur?' Quod ita esse respondente 
illo, coepit Solon caput caedere, aliaque et facere et dicere, 
quae solent magno mcerore oppressi. Turn ridens Thales, 
qui aderat : 'Haec me,' inquit, 'O Solon, a ducenda uxore 
et tollendis libefis absterruerunt, quae te etiam fortissimi 
animi virum nunc frangunt. Te vero nihil hie nuncius 
moveat ; haec enim omnia ficta sunt* 5,

AUGUSTUS. 

Cum, parta Actiaca victoria, Romam ingrederetur Au- 
gustus, occurrit ei inter gratulantes opifex quidam, corvum 
tenens quern instituerat haec dicere : ' Ave, Caesar, victor, 
imperator.' Miratus Caesar officiosam avem, viginti milli- 
bus nummorum emit. Socius opificis, ad quern nihil ex 
ilia liberalitate praevenerat, affirmavit Caesari habere ilium 
et alium corvum, quern afferri postulavit. Allatus corvus^ 
verba quae didicerat expressit : ' Ave, victor, imperator, 
Antoni.' Nihil propterea exasperatus, Augustus, satis 
duxit jubere corvorum doctorem dividere acceptum munus 
cum contubernali. Salutatus similiter a psittaco, emi eum 
jussit. Idem miratus in pica, illam quoque mercatus est. 
Exemplum pauperem sutorem solicitavit ut corvum insti- 
tueret ad parem salutationem ; sed cum parum profice- 
ret, saepe ad avem non respondentem dicere solebatt

* Opera 'et impensa periit.' Tandem tamen corvus 
coepit dicere dictatam salutationem. Hac audita, dum 
transit, Augustus respondit : ' Satis domi salutatorum 
talium habeo.' Turn corrus ilia verba, quibus dominum 
querentem solebat audire, subtexuit : ' Opera et impensa 
periit.' Ad quod Caesar risit, emique avem jussit quanti 
nullam adhuc emerat. 

NARRATIO DECIMA QUARTA. 

REGULIXS. 

M. Attilius Regulus, cum consul iteriim in Africa ex 
insidiis captus esset, duce Xantippo Lacedaemonio, impera- 
tore autem patre Annibalis Amilcare, juratus missus est 
ad senatum ut, nisi redditi essent Poenis captivi no biles 
quidam, rediret ipse Carthaginem. Is, cum Romam vcnis- 
set, utilitatis speciem videbat; sed earn, ut res deelarat, fal- 
sam judicavit : quae erat talis. Manere in patria, esse domi 
suae cum uxore, cum liberis, quam calamitatem accepissei in 
bello, communem fortimae bellieae judicantem, tenere con- 
sularis dignitatis gradum, quis haec neget esse utilia? quid 
censes ? magnitudo animi et fortitudo negat. Num locu- 
pletiores quaeris auctores ? Harum enim est virtutern pro- 
prium,nil extimescere, omnia humana despicere, nihil quod 
honiini accidere possit, intoierandum putare. Itaque quid 
fecit? In senatum venit : mandata exposuit: sententiam ne 
diceret recusavit: quamdia jurejurando hostinm teneretur, 
non esse senatorem. . Atque etiam reddi captivos negavit 
esse utile : illos enim adolescentes esse et bonos duces, se 
jam confectum senectute. Cujus quum valuisset auctoritas, 
captivi letenti sunt: ipse Carthaginem rediit: neque enim 
caritas patriae retinuit nee suorum : Neque vero turn i^no- 
rabat, se ad crudelissimum hostem, et ad exquisita supplicia 
proflcisci, sed jusjurandum conservandum putabat. Itaque 
turn cum vigilando necabatur, erat in meliore causa, quam 
si domi senex captivus, perjurus consularis remansisset.

bello viros, et tot gentium secum domitores, indicta causa, 
veritus esset occidere. Sed nondum fortuna se animo ejus 
infuderat ; itaque orientem earn moderate et prudenter tulit, 
ad ultimum magnitudinem ejus non cepit. Turn quidem 
ita se gessit, ut omnes ante eum reges et continentia et de- 
mentia vincerentur. Virgines enim regias, excellentis for- 
mae, tarn sancte habuit, quam si eodem, quo ipse, parente 
genitae forent : conjugem ejusdem, quam nulla aetatis suae 
pulchritudine corporis vicit, adeo ipse non violavit, ut sum- 
mam adhibuerit curam ne quis captivo corpori illuderet : 
omnem cultum reddi feminis jussit ; nee quicquam ex pris- 
tinae fortunae magnificentia captivis, praeter fiduciam, defuit. 
Itaque Sysigambis : ■ Rex, inquit, mereris, ut ea precemur 
tibi, quae Dario nostro quondam precatae surnus ; et, ut vi- 
deo, dignus es qui tantum regem, non felicitate solum, sed 
etiam aequitate superaveris. Tu quidem Matrem me, et 
Reginam vocas : sed ego me tuam famulam esse confiteor. 
Et praeteritas fortune fastigium capio et pra^sentis jugum 
pati possum : tua interest quantum in nos licuerit, si id poti- 
us dementia quam saBvitia vis esse testatum.' Rex bonum 
animum habere eas jussit; Darii deinde filium collo suo ad- 
movit. Atque nihil ille conspectu tunc primum a se visi 
conterritus, cervicem ejus manibus amplectitur : motus er- 
go rex constantia pueri, Hephaestionem intuens : i Quam 
vellem, inquit, Darius aliquid ex hac indole hausisset !'

NARRATIO DECIMA SEPTIMA. 

SCIPIO. 

Captiva adducitur ad Publium Cornelium Scipionem ad- 
ulta virgo ; adeo eximia forma, ut quacumque incedebat, 
converteret omnium oculos. Scipio percunctatus patriam 
parentesque, inter castera accepit, desponsam earn princi- 
pi Celtiberorum adolescenti : Allucio nomen erat. Ex- 
templo igitur parentibus sponsoque ab domo accitis, quum 
interim audiret deperire eum sponsae amore ; ubi primum 
venit, accuratiore sermone quam parentes alloquitur. 
* Juvenis, inquit, juvenem appello : quo minor sit inter nos 
hujus sermonis verecundia. Ego, quum sponsa tua capta 
a militibus nostris ad me ducta esset, audiremque earn tibi 
cordi esse, et forma faceret fidem ; quia ipse, si frui liceret 
ludo aetatis, (praesertfm recto et legitimo amore) et non 
respublica animum nostrum occupasset, veniam mihi dari 
sponsam impensius amanti vellem : tuo, cujus possum, 
amori faveo. Fuit sponsa tua apud me eadem, qua apud 
soceros tuos parentesque suos, verecundia : servata tibi 
est, lit inviolatum et dignum me teque dari tibi donum pos- 
set. Hanc mercedem imam pro eo munere paciscor ; 
amicus populo Romano sis : et si me rirum bonum credis 
esse, quales patrem patruumque meum jam ante hae gentes 
norant, scias multos nostri similes in civitate Romana esse : 
nee ullum in terris populum hodie dici posse, quern minus 
tibi hostem tuisque esse velis, aut amicum malis.' Ado- 
lescens, simul pud ore et gaudio perfusus, dextram Sci- 
pionis tenens, Deos oinnes invocare ad gratiam illi pro se 
referendam ; quoniam sibi nequaquam satis facultatis, pro 
suo animo atque illius erga se merito, esset. Parentes

sibi redderetur virgo, ad quam redimendam satis magnum 
attulissent auri pondus, orare Scipionem, ut id ab se do- 
num acciperet, cceperunt : haud minorem ejus rei apud se 
gratiam futuram esse, afhrmantes, quam redditae invio- 
latae foret virginis. Scipio, quando tanto opere peterent, 
accepturum se pollicitus,. poni ante pedes jussit : voca- 
toqu'e ad se Allucio, Super dotem, inquit. quam accep- 
turus a socero es, haec tibi a me dotalia dona accedent, 
aurumque tollere, ac sibi habere jussit. His laetus donis 
honoribusque dimissus domum,implevit populareslaudibus 
meritis Scipionis : Yenisse Diis simillimum juvenem : vin- 
centem omnia quum armis, turn benignitate ac beneficiis. 
Itaque delectu clientium habito, cum delectis mille et quad- 
ringentis equitibus intra paucos dies ad Scipionem revertit. 

NARRATIO DECIMA OCTAYA. 

SOCRATES. 

Haec est autem Socratis oratio, qua facit eum Plato usum 
apud judices, jam morte multatum. ' Magna me,' inquit, 
6 spes tenet, judices, bene mihi evenire, quod mittar ad mor- 
tem. Necesse est enim, sit alterum de duobus, ut aut sen- 
sus omnino mors omnes auferat, aut in alium quendam 
locum ex his locis morte migretur. Quamobrem, sive sen- 
s'.:- extinguitur, morsque ei somno similis est, qui nonnun- 
quam, etiam sine visis somniorum, placatissimam quietem 
affert : Dii boni ! quid lucri est emori ? aut quam multi 
dies reperiri possunt, qui tali nocti anteponantur ; cui si 
similis iutura esi perpetuus umnts coiisequentis temporis, 
quis me beatior ? 

4 Sin vera sunt, quae dicuntur, migrationem esse mortem 
in eas oras, quas, qui e vita excesserunt, incolunt ; id multo 
jam beatius est, te, cum ab iis, qui se judicum numero ha- 
beri volunt, evaseris, ad eos venire, qui vere judices appel- 
lentur, Minoem, Rhadamanthum, JEacum, Triptolemum ; 
convenireque eos, qui juste et cum fide vixerint. Haec 
peregrinatio mediocris vobis videri potest ? ut vero collo- 
qui cum Orpheo, Musaeo, Homero, Hesiodo liceat, quanti 
tandem aestimatis ? equidem saepe mori, si fieri posset, 
vellem, ut ea, quae dico, mihi liceret invenire. Quanta de- 
lectatione autem arlicerer, cum Palamedem, cum Ajacem, 
cum alios judicio iniquorum circumventos convenirem : ten- 
tarem etiam summi regis, qui maximas copias duxit ad Tro- 
jam, et Ulyssis, Sisyphique prudentiam : nee ob earn rem, 
cum haec exquirerem, sicut hie faciebam, capite damnarer. 



04 NEW LATIN READER. 

6 Ne vos quidem, judices, hi qui me absolvistis, mortem 
timueritis. Nee enim cuiquam bono mali quidquarn evenire 
potest, nee vivo nee mortuo : nee unquam ejus res a diis im- 
mortalibus negligentur. Nee mihi ipsi hoc accidit fortuito. 
Nee vero e^o iis a quibus accusatus sum, aut a quibus con- 
demnatus, habe-o quod succenseam, nisi quod mihi nocere 
se crediderunt. Sed tempus est,' inquit, * jam hinc abire 
me, ut moriar ; vos, ut vitam agatis. Utrum autem sit me- 
lius, dii immortales sciunt : hominem quidem scire arbitror 
neminem.' Na3 ego baud paulo hunc animum malim, quam 
eorum omnium fortunas, qui de hoc judicaverunt. Etsi, 
quod praeter deos negat scire quenquam, id scitipse, utrum 
melius sit : nam dixit ante. Sed suum illud, nihil ut af- 
firmet, tenet ad extremum. Nos autem teneamus, ut nihil 
censeamus esse malum, quod sit a natura datum omnibus. 

NARRATIO DECIMA NONA. 

MANLIUS. 

Quurn Romanis adversus Latinos Tusculanosque' pug- 
nandum esset, placuit consulibus T. Manlio Torquato et 
P. Decio, ut bellum severo administraretur imperio, et 
disciplina militaris ad priscos redigeretur mores : edixe- 
runtque ne quis extra ordinem in hostes pugnaret. Forte 
inter ceeteros turmarum praefectos, qui in diversas partes 
missi erant exploratum, T. Manlius consulis filius cum 
suis turmalibus accessit prope stationem Tusculanorum 
equitum, quibus pr<eer»t Oeiniiilus Metius, vir turn ge- 
nere turn factis clarus. Is ubi Romanos equiteSjCOgnovit, 
insitniemque inter eos preecedentem consulis filium, paulu- 
lum ab suis equo provectus : c Yisne,' inquit, ' dum ilia 
dies venit, qua consulares exercitus cum Latinis decerta- 
bunt, interea tu ipse congredi mecum, ut utrisque nostrum 
eventu cernatur, quantum eques Latinus Romano prse- 
stet l ' Movit ferocem animum juvenis seu ira, seu de- 
trectandi certaminis pudor, seu inexsuperabilis vis fati. 
Oblitus itaque imperii patrii, consulumque edicti, ruit in id 
certamen, in quo haud multum intererat vinceretne, an 
viuceretur. 

Equitibus casteris, velut ad spectaculum, utrimque sum- 
motis, Metius et Manlius adversos concitarunt equos, et 
cum infestis cuspidibus concurrerunt. Romanus Tuscu- 
lanum ex equo excussum transfixit, spoliisque lectis ad 
turmam suam revectus in castra ad patrem venit. Turn : 
4 Ut me/ inquit, ' omnes tuo sanguine vere ortum prsedi-

carent provocatus ab hoste, haec arma ex eo caeso capta 
attuli.' Quod ubi audivit consul, extemplo filium aver- 
satus, et patrio amori praeferens rempublicam, cujus 
intererat exercitum in gravissimo bello animadversionis 
metu contineri, milites classico advocari jussit. Qui 
postquam frequentes convenere : ' Quandoquidem,' in- 
q*uit, ' tu, Tite Manli, neque imperium consulare, neque 
majestatem patriam veritus, in hostem pugnasti ; et sol- 
visti, quantum in te fuit, disciplinam militarem, qua Ro- 
mana res stetit ad hanc diem : nos potius pro nostro 
delicto plecti oportet, quam rempublicam luere peccata 
nostra magno suo damno. I, lictor, deliga ad palum.' 

Exanimati omnes tarn atroci imperio, et quasi districtam 
in se cernentes securim, metu magis, quam modestia 
quievere. Postquam cervice caesa fusus est cruor, cum 
libero conquestu coortae voces sunt, ita ut neque execra- 
tionibus parceretur. Deinde spoliis contectum juvenis 
corpus a militibus crematum est, structo extra vallum rogo. 

Fecit atrocitas poenae de Manlio sumptae obedientiorem 
duci militem, et ea severitas ad felicem belli exitum 
profuit. Cum T. Manlius consul Romam victor rediit, 
ei venienti seniores tantum obviam exierunt : juventus et 
tunc et omni deinde vita aversata eum execrataque.
